Description: Once you have
seen the spectrum of one protein you have seen the spectra of all proteins. Or
so it would seem. While the general characteristics of the absorption curve may
appear to be similar for all proteins (i.e., in acid and neutral solution there
is a minimum at 250 nm, a maximum at 278-282 nm, and no absorption above 310
nm; in alkaline solution the maximum and minimum shift to longer wavelengths),
there are subtle differences which can be seen when the spectra of many
proteins are compared. It is these differences which reflect changes in amino
acid content and in the milieu in which the protein has been dissolved. The
spectra in this book provide samples of these subtle spectral differences and
permit comparisons to be made.
